AR6005: Single-band 1-stream 11n for Mobile

Product Overview
The AR6005 is the third-generation Wi-Fi chip from Qualcomm optimized for the throughput, size, and energy efficiencies needed of mobile and embedded devices. With its tiny footprint and energysaving qualities, the AR6005 rounds out our comprehensive ecosystem of 1-stream 11n solutions, targeting smartphones, mobile gaming and portable CE devices. With increased data throughput capabilities offered by 11n, the AR6005 achieves up to 48 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band in 20 Mhz mode. The AR6005 features the lowest current consumption of any 11n mobile WLAN solution on the market today to significantly extend battery life, while supporting the power demands of transmitting large media files. The AR6005 also employs the company’s on-chip Efficient Power Amplifier™ (EPA) technology to reduce the power typically consumed by internal PAs, while delivering the output power of an external PA.
